Heaven Couldn't Wait

(Verse 1) I was staring at the ceiling... just waiting for the sun Counting every mistake... and every race I should've run. I opened up my phone... just to pass a little time And stumbled on a version of you... that was actually doing fine. There you were in every frame... with that don't care kind of stare Just a girl who had the answers... to a life that wasn't fair. I’m swiping through the photos... like I’m trying to find a breath In a gallery of memories... that are all I’ve got left. (Chorus) Oh... the Heavens must’ve been a little too dark ‘Cause He reached down low... just to take your spark! I’m standing in the rain... crying out to the blue Yeah... I guess Heaven couldn't wait for you! (Post chorus) Ohh... Yeah... I guess Heaven couldn't wait for you! (Verse 2) I hit a picture from the summer... you were leaned against the car Just a girl in the driveway... long before the heavy scars. The chrome was catching daylight... and your smile was catching fire Before the world got heavy... and the Heavens called the choir. Now I’m scrolling through the years... just to find a better rhyme Trying to find the moment... where we ran out of time. It’s a heavy kind of torture... seeing how the light used to fall On the life we were living... before we lost it all. (Chorus) Oh... the Heavens must’ve been a little too dark ‘Cause He reached down low... just to take your spark! I’m standing in the rain... crying out to the blue Yeah... I guess Heaven couldn't wait for you! (Post chorus) Ohhh... Yeah... I guess Heaven couldn't wait for you! (Bridge) I’m pacing circles on the hardwood... just to hear a hollow sound Anything to keep from sinking... further in the ground. I reach out for the speakers... like a lifeline in the dark Needing just a flicker... of that high and holy spark. Then that old-school soul comes on... and the static starts to scream And for three-and-a-half minutes... I’m back inside the dream. I turn the volume up so loud... that the foundation starts to shake ‘Cause it’s the only way to muffle... the sound of a heart about to break. (Chorus) Oh... the Heavens must’ve been a little too dark ‘Cause He reached down low... just to take your spark! I’m standing in the rain... crying out to the blue Yeah... I guess Heaven couldn't wait for you! (Post chorus) Ohhh... Yeah... I guess Heaven couldn't wait for you! (Outro) No... the gates swung wide and the light broke through Yeah... I guess Heaven couldn't wait for you... I guess Heaven couldn't wait for you...
